A real woman is a man's best friend. She will never stand him up and never let him down. She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day. She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and regret. She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires. She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the world and will enable him to be the most confident, seductive and invincible...No, wait. Sorry. I'm thinking of whiskey. It's whiskey that does all that stuff. Never mind.

A woman was enjoying a good game of Bridge with her girlfriends one evening when suddenly she realized how late it was. "Oh no, she exclaimed, and I have to rush home and fix dinner for my husband. He's going to be really ticked if it's not ready on time."When she gets home she realized she didn't have enough time to go to the supermarket and all she had in the cupboard was a wilted lettuce leaf, an egg, and a can of catfood. In a panic, she opened the can of catfood, stirred in the egg, and garnished it with the lettuce leaf just as her husband was pulling up. She greeted her husband and then watched in horror as he sat down to his dinner. To her surprise, the husband was really enjoying his dinner. She was even more astounded when he announced, " Darling, this is the best dinner you have made for me in forty years of marriage. You can make this for me any old day."Needless to say, every Bridge night from then on the woman made her husband the same dish. She told her Bridge cronies about it and they were all horrified. "You're going to kill him!" they exclaimed. Sure enough, and without warning, two months later her husband died.The women were sitting around the table playing Bridge when one of the cronies said, "You killed him! We told you that feeding him that cat food every week would do him in. How can you just sit there so calmly and play Bridge knowing you murdered your husband?" The wife stoically replied, "I didn't kill him. He fell off the mantel while he was licking his ***."

He says, "If you're using it on your legs don't shave for a couple of days." She says, "I'm not using it on my legs either. I'm using it on my schnauzer." The druggist says, "Stay off your bicycle for a week."
